Bestwood White Board is a high density PVC foam board manufactured by Polyon Industries in Mundur, Thrissur. It ships as 8 x 4 ft sheets in nine thicknesses, from 1 mm through to 25 mm, with a hard white finish on both faces. Modular kitchen fabricators, furniture workshops and sign makers use it in place of plywood and MDF, mainly because it stands up to damp and needs no laminating before it goes in.
Both faces are finished to Shore D 42 and above, so on most cabinet, shutter and panel jobs you cut the sheet and fit it as it comes. No primer, no paint, no lamination step. If the job calls for a different colour or a gloss finish, the board takes PU lamination and our Bestlam acrylic laminate without any extra surface prep.
It works with the tools a workshop already has. Saw it, drill it, mill it, run it through a CNC router, screw into it, rivet it, or bond two pieces with PVC adhesive. It also accepts direct printing and engraving, which is why sign makers reach for it on shop boards, logos and cut lettering. Tooling and settings are covered in our cutting, drilling and fixing guide.
Water absorption is 1.0 percent or lower, tested to DIN 53495. That figure is the reason it holds up in kitchens and bathrooms: units built from it do not swell or open at the joints the way plywood and MDF do once moisture gets in. On flammability it carries Class 1 to BS 476 Part 7, M1 to NFP 92-501 and V0 to UL 94. Every batch passes through our quality assurance checks before dispatch.

Suitable for
- PU Lamination
PU Lamination
PU stands for polyurethane, A Lamination or Coating of polyurethane provides a hard, strong, and stretchable polymer protection cover over the applied product. - Bending
Bending
Bending is a process where the product is exposed to steam in order to make it pliable. Heat and moisture from steam can soften inner fibres enough so they can be bent and stretched, and when cooled down they will hold their new shape. - Cutting
Cutting
Process of cutting. - CNC
CNC
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) router is a computer-controlled cutting machine which typically mounts a hand-held router as a spindle which is used for cutting board in perfect shape and sizes. - Painting
Painting
Process of painting the board.
- Sawing
Sawing
Sawing is cutting the board logs into different shapes and sizes. Sawn board is generally cut into varying rectangular widths and lengths. - Shearing
Shearing
Shearing, also known as die cutting, is a process which cuts the board without the formation of chips or the use of burning or melting. - Punching
Punching
The process of creating a pattern or texture on the board using woodcarver's punch tool. - Drilling
Drilling
Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut a hole of circular cross-section in the board. - Milling
Milling
Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material by advancing a cutter into the board.
- Rivetting
Rivetting
A pop rivet is a nail-type device that, when inserted into materials, expands or peels on the end to secure the pieces permanently. - Screwing
Screwing
Screws are handy for quickly building jigs and clamping forms, joining cabinet and furniture parts, mounting hardware and trim, and much more. Screws form strong connections between parts. - Printing
Printing
Printing onto the board is a fantastic and unique way of showcasing point-of sale displays, exhibition displays and event signage both indoors and outdoors. - Photo Mounting
Photo Mounting
A board mounted print is a print that has been mounted to a rigid thick PVC Foam board and then laminated with a UV filtering film. The lamination film provides protection against fading, fingerprints and other contaminates. - Engraving
Engraving
Engraving is a printmaking technique, in which an artist works an image or matrix of images into the board.
